It's always good to be on your guard. Being on a Mac is much better that being on a PC for spyware.
Your cell phone and your computer are two totally separate systems. Someone would have to have the resources of homeland security to take over both of them.
Spyware works by installing an application that runs in the background of your computer and "phones home" with sensitive information when you type it into your computer. To see everything that is running on your computer open your FINDER and navigate to APPLICATIONS - UTILITIES and then open ACTIVITIES MONITOR. You will see a window of everything running on your computer. Some you will recognize and others you will not. This is my list;

You can see I have some AGENTS in the list but I know I don't have any spyware. Those are part of the operating system and needed to keep my computer running. But if you have anything suspicious let me know.

What Customers are Saying:

Hi John, Thank you for your expertise and, more important, for your kindness because they make me, almost, look forward to my next computer problem. After the next problem comes, I'll be delighted to correspond again with you. I'm told that I excel at programing. But system administration has never been one of my talents. So it's great to have an expert to rely on when the computer decides to stump me. God bless, Bill
